so same as the other one. Can you find a Greatest Common Factor?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

no because you have 3, 9 is not a factor of 3

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

but 3 is a factor of 9 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x-6 x-5 is my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

when you multiply them together do you get the original trinomial? thats the way to check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so i have this (3x+6) and (x-5)

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

yep that gets you 3x^2 - 9x - 30

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

good job :)
